Question

2x + 7 > x + 17

solve

Answer 1

Get the same things on the same side

Answer 2

just like when you solve for an equation
1st step is to subtract x from both sides to get the X's on one side

Answer 3

Thats where I am confused, I dont see an = sign and i forget after that

Answer 4

the > is the same thing as an equal sign in this case

Answer 5

Lets see here

Answer 6

we don't need = sign because this is not equation this is inequality but treat the > as if it was equal sign

Answer 7

So do subtract x to the left side and subtract 7 to the right

Answer 8

\[x>10\]

Answer 9

Correct

Answer 10

Do you have any listed values for the exponents?

Answer 11

THANKS GUYS

Answer 12

2x + 7 > x + 17
Subtract x from both sides to get X's on one side
2x - x + 7 > 17
x + 7 > 17
now subtract 7 from both sides to isolate x
x > 17 - 7
x > 10
make sense?
